Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

A school's resources are conventionally grouped into three broad categories: human resources (the people who teach and learn), physical or material resources (the infrastructure, equipment, and facilities used for teaching and learning), and financial resources (the money available to run and sustain the school, including its budget, grants, and other monetary allocations).

The question asks specifically what financial resources refers to. Applying this definition, financial resources are the monetary means a school has access to, chiefly the grants and allocations given to it by the government or a managing body, along with any other budgetary income, since these funds are what pay for everything else the school needs, such as salaries, buildings, and equipment.

  • Teachers and pupils are people, so they form the school's human resources, not money.

  • Library and laboratories, and school playground and toilets, are infrastructure and equipment, so they form the school's physical or material resources, not money.

  • Only grants and allocations to the school consist of monetary amounts, matching the definition of financial resources.

Hence, financial resources in a school refer to grants and allocations to the school.
